Yes, please. I'll buy it. I still have a UK credit card I can charge it to.  ;)

I don't think the price is silly. This would take up at least four, and possibly five, individual volumes if it was reprinted as it has been in the past, or in a similar way to Dante, for example. If we assume those books would be about £8 to £12 each, then add something for the upgrade to hardback, we're already well past half of this £100 charge. If it's in a prestigious format, add a bit more.

I've talked a lot lately about how books are becoming fetishised among comics fans, especially people who read comics and other things digitally. Increasingly, we're happy to buy a beautiful book because it gives us pleasure to have it on the shelf, even if we own it in another form. Good examples would be Bryan Talbot's Grandville series, the Edgington/D'Israeli books like Kingdom of the Wicked, and the slipcase reprints of things like Sandman or Lost Girls. I don't think it's wrong to assume this Zenith book, although more expensive, would fit into that category.

Anyway, WAAAAAAANT.

In the end how much do people spend on places like amazon/ebay etc buying the phases available? it is/does seem  steep price wise but when i look at my case files and other GN's i like many people have spent a small fortune. and will continue to do so,on books that bring us joy.
As long as it makes the reader happy then it's priceless.

How does the timer work does it close the whole system for the rest of the day? Or just the ability to play games without us imputting the pin?

Help! / Where to nuy dvds?
09 February, 2013, 02:28:48 PM
I believe our hmv store will continue business at least atm (not one on the list of closures) their website is now down and play seem to have stopped trading and instead doing the whole third party nonsense.

As such other than amazon are there any websites that sell a comprehensive selection of dvds??? or is it just amazon now?

You're not thinking of Will o'the Wisp, are you?  Talking caterpillars, Kenneth Williams voice-over and a big fat tree fairy ring any bells?  Sorry.  A curvaceous tree fai...  Actually, sod it.  Fat tree fairy.

Nope i have that on dvd :)

QuoteWas it Creepy Crawlies by any chance? I hated that, especially the theme tune.

How about sticking some Future Shocks on shop shelves! (if this has been done already then please ignore)
I can see the logic in rewarding subscribers but there's plenty of us 'non-subs' that would love to have these fine Tomes in their collections. 

Cheers   :)

Yes please :)

Creative Common / Re: Marvel vs. Dc.
08 November, 2012, 05:06:11 PM
For me the 70s and 80s were the best for both company's i alway's viewed DC as the company that featured the more serious art and story lines were as marvel was a touch more popular with sometimes stupid story lines.....maybe both had the the same in common BUT that's how i viewed them.

I didn't really like one more than the other there just fulfilled different aspect's of my comic reading
